Hammerli International Pistol, .22 Long Rifle, 6 Inch Barrel, 2 1/4 lbs

Within the world of Olympic competition arms, Hammerli is one of the great names that, sadly, has faded into relative obscurity, along with the once-dominant sport of international pistol competition. Both the company and the discipline had their roots in the 19th century, though Hammerli started earlier and continues its existence today, albeit wrapped within the Umarex family of firearm manufacturers. After several decades of licensed production of Walther's Olympia design, Hammerli refined the basic concept of the Olympia into its International line of semi-automatic competition guns. Separated into several models, depending on select features, the International line would carry Hammerli into the 21st century.
